By the way, the SO answer is wrong about the history of this. It says
that this message: https://developer.r-project.org/equalAssign.html is
the "original explanation by John Chambers", but in fact John committed
the text that is still present in the docs several months earlier,
to both the `?assign` help page (rev 15467, 2001-08-13) and to the
equalAssign.html document on developer.r-project.org (rev 608, same day).
